Consider the following statements about the Open and Closed Blood Circulatory System:   A) Open blood circulatory system does not contain special blood vessels to carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, while in the closed blood circulatory system blood vessels are present. B) Oxygenated and Deoxygenated blood gets mixed in the closed blood circulatory system, while oxygenated and deoxygenated blood does not get mixed in the open blood circulatory system. Choose the correct statement.
With reference to Red blood Cells, consider the following statements: 1. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from lungs to body tissues and also transport carbon dioxide to your lungs for you to exhale. 2. Red blood cells can easily change shape, unlike White blood cells. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. As the white light breaks up while passing through the atmosphere, most of its blue-colored wavelengths are absorbed and scattered. The remaining red wavelengths light up the moon in blood-red color. Which of the following statements do not support the assertion of the above-given statement? I: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the white light breaks up due to the Earth's atmosphere where most of its red-colored wavelengths are absorbed. II: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the earth blocks the white light to travel to the moon.

The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. P: It’s a type of cancer of the blood cells caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in the body.  Q: There is hardly anything you can do to prevent leukaemia. R: If a person appears pale, swollen gums, an enlarged liver or spleen, significant bruising, bleeding, fever, fatigue, the doctor should suspect leukaemia. S: They crowd out the red blood cells and platelets the body needs to be healthy. All those extra white blood cells don’t work right, and that causes problems.
In a well aerated and agitated microbial culture, the 'supply' of oxygen is equal to 'demand' (uptake) of the growing culture. The KLa for such a system will be (KLa = volumetric mass transfer coefficient, C* = dissolved oxygen concentration in liquid in equilibrium with gaseous oxygen, C = instantaneous value of dissolved oxygen concentration, 'r' = specific oxygen uptake rate per unit weight of cells, X = dry weight of the cells per unit volume)
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the oxidation number of Oxygen? I. The oxidation number of Oxygen in most compounds is -2. II. When Oxygen is bonded to Fluorine in compounds like Oxygen difluoride and Dioxygen diflouride, the Oxygen is assigned an oxidation number of +2 and +2 respectively. III. In peroxide, an Oxygen atom is assigned an oxidation number of -1 and in Superoxide, each oxygen atom is assigned an oxidation number of -1/2.
